General Liability

General liability insurance (GL) is basic liability coverage that can protect you from a variety of claims including bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and others that can arise from your business operations. Covers costs related to litigation and court judgments if a customer or other third party files suit against you or your employees.

It is often combined with property insurance in a Business Owners Policy (BOP).

Business Owner's Policy (BOP)

Business Auto

The purchase of a commercial auto insurance policy is dependent on the type of driving your employees do. Our friendly agents will take the time to sit down with you and explain your business’ vehicle insurance options. You will be asked about how your employees use their vehicles, which employees drive company cars, and if some employees will be using their own cars for company work and travel.

​

Worker's Compensation

Few are more important than your company’s workers compensation insurance policy. Workers compensation is a form of insurance providing wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment in exchange for mandatory relinquishment of the employee's right to sue his or her employer for the tort of negligence.

Let Chatterton Insurance help make sure when an employee becomes injured on the job, the claim is handled correctly and in a timely fashion. Workers compensation will provide peace of mind for you as an employer and for your employees.

Commercial Umbrella

Commercial Umbrella Insurance provides businesses with additional liability coverage to help protect them against the potentially ruinous costs of claims. Significant assets can be at risk when businesses are the target of lawsuits. If the cost of a claim exceeds the limits of a business’s underlying primary insurance policies, Commercial Umbrella Insurance extends liability coverage for an additional layer of insurance to further protect business assets.
